OoP will likely be released in the UK, Australia and various other 
countries at 12:00 a.m. London time on June 21, 2003, and in the US 
and Canada shortly thereafter. The Moderator Team is trying to decide 
whether to close the main list for some period (probably 36 hours) 
following the release so that our membership can have time to acquire 
and read the book. Which would you prefer?

No, please don't close the list; I'd like to be free to post as soon 
as I'm ready to post and I don't wish to wait 36 hours.  89  23.06%  
  
Yes, please close the list; I'd like some time to read the book without 
feeling pressure to do so in less than 36 hours.  269  69.69%
